The first thousand two hundred and twenty-four chapters are endless fun with people
Although people always talk about personal heroism, whether a person has or does not, will not stop the progress of the times, but just say the question of whether it is faster or slower.
Andy has the most say in this regard. His existence has changed a lot, but it has only changed the fate of a few of his people, but it has not changed the world, let alone changed this era.
Don’t treat Jobs as a god, nor do you need to treat him as a demon. Recognize those who should be recognized and criticize those who should be criticized. Jobs is a very amazing and great genius, but at the same time he has a bad character.
Faced with this genius who has changed the world's technological process in the past few decades, no one is stingy with his respect. When he is seriously ill, he should send blessings. But in addition to blessings, he also has many shortcomings under the light.
Since Jobs had his surgery and returned to Apple, Andy has discovered that disease did not deprive him of his talent and did not take away his arrogance.
Jobs is a person who will never respect others. The reason why he divides his sphere of influence is because he publicly accused Google on the first day after returning to Apple, "We did not enter the search market, but Google entered the mobile phone market. There is no doubt that they want to destroy the crazy love."
The current Google CEO Larry Page directly criticized Jobs for "tampering with history" from afar.
Many people think that Jobs rewrites the mobile phone industry. In fact, Google acquired Android as early as 2005, and R&D has begun since then. Compared to the Ai Crazy Mobile released in 2007, Google is not too late. Moreover, Google CEO Schmidt was also a member of Apple's board of directors at that time, which is no secret at all.
In Jobs' eyes, Apple has no shortcomings. If you criticize Apple, you don't know how to appreciate the beauty of Apple. Andy, who kindly proposed the concept of a large screen, is a person who doesn't know how to appreciate the beauty of Apple in Jobs' eyes.
"You don't know anything at all!" Jobs' arrogant and contemptuous face on the board completely angered him.
"Yes, just like I don't understand that Ai Crazy's mobile phone has exposed serious defects, but the company has no explanation, causing the stock to fall, I don't understand that you have been trying to hide your health, which leads to the company's stock price going violently every time you rest. So, as Apple's largest individual shareholder, can you give me an answer and let me understand it!"
This was Andy's counterattack at that time. The two of them confronted each other, which also made the first board of directors part after Jobs' return. Andy even ignored it and trembled all over. Jobs, who had an extremely ugly face, said that the meeting would end and directly cut off the video signal.
Since then, the two of them have completely taken the opposite side again. Andy even heard that Jobs hoped Andy would propose the board of directors. However, the other directors who did not want to see Jobs being too strong and no one was an opponent were happy to see Andy's existence, and had no intention of kicking Andy out of the board of directors. This also made Jobs very angry and helpless, and even exposed the words "inducing the wolf into the house".
Andy, who was originally thinking about leaving the Apple board, also changed the main point and decided to continue to sit firmly on the Apple board seat, not for anything else, just to make things difficult for the annoying guys. When he decided to leave, he would give him a ruthless move, so that Jobs would pay the price for his arrogance!
Well, Andy is so stingy. Although he will stab the apple regardless of whether he has a quarrel with Jobs or not...
Thinking of this, Andy took out his cell phone and called out.
"Hello, Schmidt, haha... Is this phone call surprising?"
The call was called to the CEO of the Chinese Internet search giant, Schmidt. Given the current competition between Apple and Google in multiple fields, including the computer operating system market and the rapidly growing smartphone market, this dual director is probably about to end it. Jobs will never let Schmidt continue to stay on the Apple board.
Schmidt joined Apple's board of directors in 2006, but has not participated in the discussions on its Aiceng mobile phone products recently and has always chosen to avoid seats. Unfortunately, with the announcement of Google's Android and the latest chre operating system plans, Google is increasingly involved in Apple's core business areas, and Schmidt can do less and less on Apple's board of directors. Due to potential conflicts of interest, he will have to withdraw from more meetings under the consideration of avoiding suspicion.
In this way, it would be better to directly opt out of Apple's board of directors, which would also help it pass some of the regulatory review of its relationships.
"Haha, Andy, it's time for you to call, you should have heard the storm... At the board meeting early next month, I'm going to officially withdraw from Apple."
Schmidt's laughter came from the phone. There was no reluctance, but he seemed very calm. Andy frowned slightly and said, "This is really a pity. Has Jobs ever found you?"
"Haha, he talked to me, but this is actually normal. The comprehensive competition between Google and Apple has begun. It is indeed inappropriate for me to stay on the Apple board of directors. This time, the regulatory investigation, haha, I think it was also proposed by Jobs himself, in order to clear us. However, you don't have to worry about the investigation at that time, after all, you are not a member of Google's board of directors.
So, I discussed with other board members and decided to let you take over my board function before leaving. I don’t think you will refuse, right? Haha…”
"Haha. Thank you, of course I won't refuse." Hearing the other party's words, Andy's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the sharp light flashed, and the corner of his mouth raised his smile. It seems that there are really many people who don't want Jobs to have a good life. The greatest help from his marginalized director, who is to be promoted to the director of the Remuneration Committee this time, is undoubtedly due to the quarrel between Andy and Jobs.
It can be said that most people on the board of directors do not like the dictatorship and centralized Jobs. If he hadn't really allowed Apple to make more money, everyone would choose to pinch his nose and endure him. If one day he was sure that he could not create value for Apple, Jobs would definitely be ruthlessly swept out like before.
In fact, Jobs knew this very well, and this was something that Andy admired him very much. Jobs had irreplaceable value for others, and he could make full use of this value and gain more benefits for himself.
"...No one wants to see him being unscrupulous. Someone must stand up and question and restrain him. His understanding is that he is not the king of Apple, and not everything will be decided by him. Everyone is optimistic about you. You are so young and so successful, and you are more successful than all of us. This is enough to suppress his arrogance!"
Andy sneered in the corner of his mouth, but his tone said with a hint of gratitude: "Thank you for your trust and support, don't worry, Apple did not have an actual controller in the past, and there will be no future. The only thing that has the final say is the board of directors. Jobs, a professional manager, must be responsible for the board of directors and shareholders!"
"Haha, that's right, then we meet with the board."
"Okay, see you in two days. I'll treat you to a drink..."
After a few more greetings, after hanging up the phone, Andy's smile dissipated and turned into a faint expression. They were all old foxes. However, Andy didn't mind being shot by these old foxes. Anyway, he was not prepared to stay on the Apple board of directors and criticized Jobs for his job like this. He was very interested. Only by fighting with experts can Andy learn and grow better.
Although Andy previously claimed that Jobs was a professional manager, it was just a derogatory meaning. Jobs was indeed one of the great innovators. Whether Andy liked him or not, he had to admit this.
In technology products, everyone hopes to make newer things, and cannot expect that relying on something that everyone has made or the industry has made mature things, can exchange for continuous profits. This is why, as soon as Jobs died, many people say that Apple is finished, including the entire Wall Street, analyzed it in this way.
The most important thing is that Apple's success depends too much on an individual, not only his work ability, but also his philosophy. Once it falls into the hands of professional managers, all of the precious things will definitely be lost.
Some people will definitely sneer at this view. After all, after Jobs' death, Apple not only did not finish it, but also became more and more powerful every year, and finally reached a market value of hundreds of billions...
That's right, because this is too natural, because someone has built such a good foundation. If you only consider the next few years, it must be that the profitability of professional managers exceeds that of entrepreneurs. The advantages of professional managers and their training are all for increasing income.
However, professional managers are not effective in guiding enterprises to continue to invest in innovation and make long-term strategic plans for future development. You must know that if you want to become a century-old enterprise, you cannot just look at short-term returns. You can't extract unlimited potential and make short-term huge profits, and lose the entire future!.m.
